Longest “official Watch” exercise streak tied!
A somewhat monumental day as I have broken a personal record twice this year. Back in March, what was established at 52 (beating the previous year’s 30) has been tied today but since I’m in good health, I will be … Continue reading
Exceeded 2018’s biking mileage!
Quite a week for personal exercise! First 500 days with the Watch completed, then a million steps for 2019 and now I have beaten 2018’s total of 1180.49 miles. It seems pretty impressive, given last year was when I really … Continue reading
One million steps!
As per the Pedometer app on my iPhone I have achieved my first million steps of just walking and moving around this year. Anything to close the rings on my Watch. Good thing I have 200 pairs of shoes so … Continue reading
Five hundred days cumulative…finally
Too bad this only took me around four years and two Apple Watches to pull this off. Let’s hope getting to 1000 days will happen faster. I’m also curious if any owners who achieved this at some point in 2018 … Continue reading
First thousand miles for 2019
Before I head out to enjoy my three-day weekend of geeking (or is it needing) out at Chupacabracon VI, I achieved 1000 miles on the exercise bike at the gym! A much better result than last year, I think I … Continue reading
One hundred days at the gym!
This year is really shaping up, too bad my body won’t follow the lead, I’m continuing to struggle with getting my weight down in to the low 250s. Regardless, I’m back in the zone a la several years ago when … Continue reading
Caracas Achieved!
Today was the third milestone via in-door bike! Being more aggressive in 2019 was how I managed to cover the 893 difference. I would this year is certainly shaping up to be the one I really get back into the … Continue reading
84% Gym Attendance!
Today is Day 100 of 2019 and my “score” is 84% or in English, I have been to the gym and closed the rings on my Apple Watch 84 times out of 100. So back when I was going to … Continue reading
Elaborate Health Assessment 2019
This ordeal, and I will call it that, was way more work for me than any physical exam. It involved me doing a stair-stepper thing for three minutes (good thing I exercise, I would’ve dropped dead sooner), a plank (I … Continue reading
Longest official streak ends at 52 days
I blame exhaustion caused by Daylight Savings Time for bringing my streak to an end. Better to take a sick day now before something much worse and more crippling happens. However, I’m not bummed. I actually look forward to starting … Continue reading
Perfect Month and first competitive challenge successful
About every February, my employer issues an exercise challenge but I think it started around the introduction of the Apple Watch. If I’m wrong, those in the know, tell me, unlike Faux News, I’m willing to admit errors. Somara has … Continue reading
Another exercise milestone and factoid
The new progression bar under the calendar this month is something Somara twisted my arm into doing. It’s called the Close the Rings Challenge and it happens at work every February. Everybody who wants to participate forms teams of four … Continue reading
New glasses arrived today!
I know this sounds trivial but I put this off for at least a year. The good news is that my right eye remains the same and the left only had one notch of decline. I owe this success to … Continue reading
One hundred hours!
This February Somara twisted my arm into participating into this year’s Close the Rings challenge, it’s the newer bar graph on my site you may see. These days it’s mentioning how close I am to the bronze achievement. Even before … Continue reading
Catching up again, let’s hear it for antibiotics!
Picayune slow down again thanks to a sinus infection probably caused by the relatively sudden shifts in our wonderful weather. The downside of Austin recovering from the Polar Vortex getting loose. It took me a while to finally put it … Continue reading
